I'm currently on my way to Berlin, and the weather this month is like this. This isn't about taking it off; it's about keeping it. Hello, I'm Seoul Lian. After the Insta360 Go 2 review, I realized how many people want to comfortably record their daily lives and share them through videos. At that time, I explained how convenient the hands-free shooting, the core concept of Insta360 Go 2, was, and how the 2.7k resolution was sufficient for most purposes. However, with the release of the Insta360 Go 3 S, I think the concern about this resolution has been resolved, and people can now fully enjoy the concept of Insta360 Go. I wanted to upload the video in time for the release, but I had to go on a business trip around the same time, so I was a bit late. However, I had some free time during the business trip.

I was able to have enough time to try writing each time, confirm the product concept and how to use the camera in the Insta360 Go 3 video. In this video, we will focus on the improvement points and new features of the Go 3. In this video, I will continue to show the white and black products. The white one is the previous model, Insta360 Go 3, and the black one is the new product, Insta360 Go 3s. We prepared them in different colors for easy distinction, so please keep that in mind. You can say there are no design changes. How different are they? With the Go 3s main body, you can still use all the functions even when you put it in the previous Action Pod. Conversely, you can also use the Go 3 in the new Action Pod. We have already created a revolutionary and practical way of using the combination of the Insta360 Go 3 and the Action Pod. We maintain the platform, accessory compatibility, and usage method while only focusing on the essential aspects.

Continuously improving is advantageous in creating the identity of the Insta360 Series. From a business perspective, I think it was a smart decision because existing users can just purchase the main body without the need to buy the whole new package. If we were to distinguish from the appearance, the change in the optical module has led to a larger lens cover. Although it's not visible, the original body used to be waterproof up to 5 meters, but now it can withstand up to 10 meters. One thing to note is that the body is waterproof with the lens guard on, and the Action Pod is water-resistant for daily life, not fully waterproof. Combining these and submerging it in water claiming it's waterproof up to 10 meters will not work. The most important change in this new product is that the maximum video recording resolution has increased from the previous 2.7k to 4k. In my case, I create YouTube videos.

Because the base resolution is 4K, now we can show Insta360 S footage in its native resolution in the video. However, on the other hand, if you are not working on 4K Pro video, you may wonder if there is a big difference. Some are correct, and some are not. First of all, 2.7K is not a low resolution on most platforms. Also, since the majority of devices consuming content are smartphones, there are often cases where the native playback of 4K resolution is not even possible from the start. However, on the other hand, when 2.7K is upscaled to 4K, the pixel area increases by about two times. Due to the nature of cameras that make it difficult to frame perfectly while shooting, we often end up editing by shooting wider and slightly cropping in post-production. In this case, if the starting point is 4K, it is natural.

The results are also good, and not only the simple resolution but also the image quality has improved a lot due to the change of the processor. The previous model had a maximum bitrate of 80mbps, but this has increased significantly to 120mbps in the Pro, containing much richer information in color expression and modification. Even in situations with sufficient lighting, you can see that the parts transitioning from shadows to highlights are expressed more smoothly, and there is also more highlight information included. Even in low-light indoor environments, you can easily see that the detail expression is much better. While using the previous model, I wondered what more to expect from such a small camera. It was concluded that it is comfortable enough and clearly has points that differentiate it from other cameras. No, it could have been even better. Furthermore, as mentioned earlier, the compatibility in utilizing the main body and action pod interchangeably is the greatest advantage.

I want to praise the fact that they achieved this while maintaining the status quo. Here, a new MegaView FOB option has been added. It has a similar angle to the existing Ultra Wide, but the distortion at the edges of the wide-angle view has been significantly reduced. It was natural to think that buildings or signs at the edges would look distorted to the maximum extent, but MegaView shows a level of distortion suppression that is comfortable to view. When used with ActionCam, you can monitor in real-time and adjust the framing to some extent during shooting, but in the more frequently used first-person mode, you don't have that. You just need to aim in the right direction and shoot. In such cases, it captures a stable video with the widest possible angle without distortion, allowing for selective cropping in post-production. After testing it once, you will almost always use MegaView.

I used a gimbal fixed [MUSIC] to shoot at the maximum resolution, and when I checked the time in an environment of about 26 degrees Celsius, when inserted into the action pod, I could shoot 120 minutes at 4K 30 frames per second and 151 minutes at 2.7K 30 frames per second. There is a function where you can start shooting with gestures while controlling the camera. By spreading your palm, you can start recording a video, and by making a fist, it will take a photo. Using the magnetic on the back of the main body, you can attach it to any metal material, and with lightweight bundled accessories, you can easily attach it to any desired location for shooting. Instead of pressing it again with your hand while mounted, I often started recording by holding it and showing my palm. And to cancel the recording.

A new feature has been added. This feature has been applied to other Insta360 products before. When you want to cancel recording immediately because it's not the desired angle or something isn't working properly, you can press and hold the shutter button, and the recording will be canceled, and the clip will be deleted. It is frequently used for reviewing, saving storage space, and being able to check only the necessary clips quickly when editing later. Also, among the bundled accessories, the magnetic pendant that is worn around the neck is used very often. It's not easy to adjust the angle as expected. Some clips end up looking too much at the sky, while others end up looking at the ground, depending on the clothes worn and the position. The angles vary greatly. For important shots, you end up using a clip of a hat. However, this time, the clip was newly designed to attach to the magnetic pendant, making angle adjustment possible. Now, you can adjust the angle with the magnetic pendant.

You can shoot more stable PV shoots by adjusting the angle up and down once again. The Insta360 Go 3s, which I have used, is the smallest and lightest camera. Its advantage lies not only in portability but also in being able to easily mount it anywhere using this magnet, allowing you to keep your hands free throughout the shoot, providing a unique experience. With the introduction of the Action Pod in the previous model, the concept has expanded to cover the familiar use of action cams for us, and with the addition of a flip screen for real-time review, it can now even cover vlogs and car areas. In the Go 3s, while maintaining all the convenience and freedom, the image quality has been improved. It's not just a one-number upgrade or a design that stands out when purchased new, but it has been made to have better image quality.

Instead, I think the most valuable number from the perspective of the result is not the one like me who is using the previous work, you can just purchase the main body as shown earlier and you can share the action pad. If you were concerned about not being able to raise the 4K knowing line, now is the best time to purchase the most balanced hardware. If you have any questions, please leave them, and then I will greet you again in the next video. Goodbye [music] In fact, because of the characteristics of this camera, I didn't expect to shoot indoors. But the Insta 360 seems to come out really well in low light. I was quite surprised when I saw the indoor cuts. I think it's a pretty good camera for everyday use.
